Tapalist is where people actively looking for something to do — this weekend, this month — find real local events. That's a rare audience: not scrolling passively, but already deciding where to go. Here's how your ad can reach them, and exactly what to send us.
Two ways to reach the Tapalist audience
Homepage Banner
Seen by everyone browsing events in your state — the most-seen spot on the site. It follows the events being viewed, not where the visitor happens to live, so someone planning a trip from out of state still sees your ad.
Event Detail Ad
Appears when someone opens the full details of a specific event — reaching people who've already shown real interest in that place or occasion.
Choose how narrowly you target
| Targeting | Your ad shows on | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Statewide | Every event in the one state you choose | Every Hawaii event, or every Alaska event |
| Island / Region | Events in one specific area | Only Oahu events, or only Portland Metro events |
| Untargeted | Any event, anywhere on Tapalist | Maximum reach across both states |
Fair, transparent rotation
Ad slots rotate evenly among the active advertisers in each placement — no black box, no guessing. We deliberately keep slots limited per placement so your ad isn't buried among a dozen others.
And your performance report won't just show raw impression counts — it'll show the actual percentage of eligible views your ad received, measured, not estimated.
Ad image specifications
- Format: JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF
- 728 × 90 also works — the classic leaderboard size. It simply doesn't fill quite as much of the banner on a desktop screen
- Keep text large and minimal. The banner scales down to fit narrow screens, so a wide design shows smaller on a phone — a few bold words read far better than a sentence
- No file-size worries at this resolution — well under our upload limit
- Don't have artwork ready? We can design it for you — just ask
